With its elegant bamboo-style stand, this is a very appealing Aesthetic Movement dinner gong. Visually striking and immensely satisfying to sound, it delivers a gloriously resonant summons to dinner. Well, one wouldn’t just expect Carson to shout "Dinner’s ready!" up the stairs would one?
A wonderful blend of beauty, novelty tradition, and practicality.
